It is the oldest religion third largest religion, buddhism, jainism,sikhism have been developed from Hinduism, Buddha was a Hindu.
If you dont know anything about it why, is it because Hindus are not hitting NEWS for bad things, or is it bacause Hindus llike to have profile and no show off thing.

Actually Prince Siddhartha was Hindu and became the Buddha when he attained enlightenment. Hindus are getting bad press even within Hinduism, so I'm not fooled. I've studied Hinduism in some depth and keep an eye on the world of India AND Hinduism in the Western world very closely. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of Hindus who are converting to Buddhism because they're tired of the illogical caste system.
Out of due respect to Hindus who actually practice their religion according to the principles of "ahimsa" I have great respect, but for those who misrepresent out of arrogance, I do not.

Hinduism is not a religion. It is a culture, custom, tradition, way of Hindus' lives in Hindustan (India). It is claimed and insisted as such by all the well known Hindu priests, scholars, intellectuals, books, scripts, the Ruling Party BJP & Shiv Sena, Bajrang Dal, the Indian & International strongest Hindu organisations RSS & VHP, each and every Hindu, etc.
The word Hindu was given by Persians to people living beyond Sindhu river. It was nowhere mentioned in any holy script. A Hindu is born to Hindu parents in Hindustan (India). No Hindu can be without a caste. Castes cannot be changed by any means; they are by birth. The Constitution of India and the Hindu Code (4 separate Acts) included everybody into Hinduism except Jews, Christians, Muslims & Parsis.
All the Indian Central and State Govts. laws, rules, orders, regulations and all the judgements of the Supreme & High Courts always confirmed that Hindus' castes are unchangeable and are by birth only.
People unware of Hinduism and influenced by other cultures/religions shout & cry that Hindus' castes are changeable; they conceal the true Hinduism, Indian laws, Courts' judgements, etc., yet cannot fool the other any more.
The CASTE column always appears in each and every application form prescribed by Govt. institutions & offices.
Hinduism consists of four varnas (categories) and thousands of castes therein with innumerable Gods & Goddesses for each such caste. Hindus castes are not equal. Hindus' worship and prayer is the job of their caste, they are born in by nature. Those not included in any of the said four varnas (categories) are untouchables ie worst and dirtiest than dirtiest animals. These Varnas (4 categories) are taught in the Holy Bhagavad Geeta, Verses 40-47, Chapter-18, and are not man made to be eradicated or ignored.

You forgot to mention that Zoroaster was a hindu, that jesus grew up in India and that Mohammed was prophesised in ancient Hindu texts. So theoretically everyone at the end of the day is a Hindu. Even the ancient polynesian religions of the asia-pacific and maori new zealand as well the incas/aztecs and mayas all have strong and striking similarities with Hinduism.

I don't know enough to exchange phone numbers with it, but then again I haven't been exposed to Hinduism much outside of a few doctors I've been to. If it were more widely practiced in the US, then I'd likely have experience with it.
